My wife and I are big fans of Stanley's. We live close by, eat there often, enjoy the quality and variety of foods. When my brother and niece visit, they always insist on having dinner at Stanley's. I consider Stanley' be an upscale, moderately priced neighborhood restaurant. It is not a cafe, a diner or a coffee shop. At such places, paper napkinsare appropriate.But Stanley's uses paper napkins. Evan a competitive restaurant down the street, The Local Peasant,which is a pub with limited menu focusing on beers, uses cloth.I implore Stanley's to switch to cloth. It is so classy to take a folded cloth napkin and place it on one's lap than to tear opencutlery wrapped in paper.It is my strong feeling that Stanley's use of paper napkins cheapens the facility. I implore them to switch touse cloth!Steve and Ruth Greenbaum, 4242 Stansbury Avenue PH6

Oh how the mighty have fallen. I remember Stanley's from before they moved. Used to be pretty good. This was definitely NOT that! The ambiance is that of a diner, rather than the kinda upscale Boulevard eatery that it used to be. The food was a on the down side of mediocre. The bread was great! Nice and hot. Stingy on foil packets of butter... not even nice butter lol. But still, it was good! That's where good stopped though. We sent back the back the appetizers as they were TERRIBLE! The mac and cheese was liquidy and flavorless and the calamari was absolutely disgusting! Tasted like old dead fish. I only had a tiny bite after my friend asked me to taste it. She'd had a couple of bites. I spit it out Blech! We both had salads, which we decided we'd try. They weren't awful, but weren't great either. Service wasn't great either... Needless to say, we won't be back!Edit: And we both had stomach issues later that night. So.... yeah...

Came in with a client of mine and gave name for table. They indicated the table in corner would be available just need to be cleared.Several more people came in after me...the table was cleared and they proceeded to seat 6 other people before me. She then acted like I never gave her my name. Don't bring a client here...save the embarrassment

Had the salmon salad for lunch today and it was delicious. Waitress was great. We sat outside, and other that the table being wobbly, everything was excellent. I wish the parking situation was better, but there isn't much anyone can do about that.

We were here on Monday for dinner. Seated quickly as it wasnt to busy. It's a nice location with friendly staff. Parking is tough valet or street parking. Food was good and dessert. only reason not 5 stars it's because it felt very rushed. We had just ordered appetizers and server came back and asked "what do you want as entree." Everything we ordered came out at the same time so table full of food and not enough space. Yes. We probably will be back or order to go.

My friend who recommended the Chinese Chicken Salad to me recently passed away. Not only was he a wonderful friend, he was a wonderful person. I will be visiting periodically just for the memories of the Chinese Chicken Salads

Alright. Time to adjust my review. Stanley's needs to up their game. We order take out about once a week and dine in about twice a month and while some food items are still good enough like the Chinese chicken salad and burgers, certain staples are declining like the guacamole and chips rancid chips three time in one month. The guacamole not fresh at all like it used to be. Sweet potato fries soggy for take out and dine in. Zucchini noodles, were perfection until recently. Tuna melt!! Soggy. dine in and take out. These are items I have been ordering since the old location. A lot has changed.

Stanley's - on Van Nuys Blvd., Sherman OaksAmy's grapefruit salad is amazing! - fresh delicious and healthy! Butter lettuce with shredded cooked chicken, fresh ripe grapefruit slices, cashews and avocado with a delicious light citrus sesame dressing. Your mouth will get a workout with all the chewing, but every last bite is so satisfying!The Lentil soup (garnished with parsley)is delicious with vegetables and lentils at a beautiful temperature - nice and hot. The sourdough bread also amazing and goes great with a lentil soup. Nice chew - nice crust! Really good sourdough! So many places have mediocre sourdough. I also had the "Cool as a Cucumber" martini. That was really good and it paired really nicely with Amy's grapefruit salad.I love that the salad didn't come out until I was finished with my soup. Make sure with the salad you give it a good stir with your fork has a lot of the delicious dressing is on the bottom of the bowl.
